Don't forget you are just looking at the pilot jobs. Don't forget about all of the headquarters, support, SOC, and other non-flying jobs that "moved" or were eliminated from MSP through consolidation. I know quite a few people that are unemployed now due to consolidation. Windfall...not so much.

Exactly!!! At least we as pilots have the option commute. Many DAL-N employees were told to either move to ATL or quit. Great options for them.

Acl65,

I am still waiting on the good news that you mentioned was right around the corner months ago!! I'm glad we still all have a job. Maybe that's it. Not the best Christmas gift from the big D for Atlanta boys and girls. What did we do to get on the naughty list?

What ACL was saying was that over the next two years you won't ever have to do a recurrent as you get signed off on every narrowbody aircraft in the fleet! I'm excited. I don't know which airplane I want to chose first. By the time we finish this journey we're all going to be more confused then Fathers Day in the ghetto.

Ugh... Beer. He taught me that one. He should get the infraction, not me.
